The Fees paid are non-refundable except if the Agreement is terminated for cause due to a breach by Gecko of its obligations pursuant to 13.2.3, and if so, Gecko will only refund the Fees pre-paid for the period during which you are unable to access your Subscription.

Any change in tax rate will be automatically applied based on the account information you provide.
5.3. Subscription Renewal and Cancellation. Your Subscription and relevant payment will automatically renew at the end of the applicable Subscription period, unless you cancel your Subscription before the end of the then-current Subscription period.
